Sammy and Mary, the Offical Mascots of Southampton Football Club, will be joining us on the day as they will be running the 10km race!

Sammy and Mary, the official mascots of Southampton Football Club will be running the 10K race at the ABP Southampton Marathon Event on the 26th of April with the Saints Foundation Team. They’ll have their tails wagging and legs pounding the pavement as they complete the course starting in Southampton City Centre.

With the costumes weighing 3-4 kilograms and running in temperatures that are sure to succeed 25 degrees in the costume, it’s certain to be a tremendous effort for the mascots, so organisers ReesLeisure are calling out for Saints’ fans to join Sammy and Mary to cheer them on!
